Nickelodeon and Noggin TV favorites, this appealing group was founded by New York City-based musicians Danny Lapidus and Francisco Cotto, best friends since childhood. Pumping out tunes that make kids – and their parents – want to get up and dance, Hot Peas ‘N Butter incorporates elements of traditional Latin music, Afro-Caribbean rhythms, jazz, folk, and rock into their unique sound. By combining an interactive, invigorating approach to performance with mature, multicultural music, the group has developed a distinct way of inspiring care and creativity in kids and adults alike.
